This book explores the cultures of philosophy and the law as they interact with neuroscience and biology, through the perspective of American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes' Jr., and the pragmatist tradition of John Dewey. Schulkin proposes that human problem solving and the law are tied to a naturalistic, realistic and an anthropological understanding of the human condition. The situated character of legal reasoning, given its complexity, like ...

First published in 2005, this book introduces the concept of allostasis and places it within the context of traditional homeostatic regulation.

This book builds a compelling case for integrating evolutionary biology into undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, as well as its intrinsic value to medicine. It achieves this within the broader context of medicine but through the focused lens of maternal and child health.

In an age of over specialization, The Pursuit of Inquiry is a book that bridges the disciplines of speculative philosophy and ongoing empirical research in psychology, biology, and neuroscience.

First Published in 1989. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

This book explores the evolutionary origins of Cortico-releasing Factor (CRF), its neural functions, and its role in a variety of human characteristics and social behaviors. It provides unique insights into CRF, and will be of interest to students and researchers in Neuroscience, Psychology, and Biology.

This book brings together the behavioral, physiological, and neuroendocrine regulation of calcium. An understanding of how the brain orchestrates whole-body demands for calcium is introduced. The approach is one in which behavior in addition to physiology serves bodily maintenance. The book links basic and clinical literature surrounding calcium homeostasis, as a wide variety of clinical syndromes are tied to calcium metabolism. Because calciu...

Explores the behavioral neuroscience of social attachment and its significance in establishing and maintaining human well-being.

The decision-making process that underlies ovarian hormone therapy (HT) is a fallible one. The question is whether or not physicians should prescribe HT to menopausal women, who are at a time in their lives when they are factoring various concerns into their decision to take (or not take) HT. Not only is it difficult to determine whether or not to prescribe HT, but what kind, should physicians recommend estrogen or progestin, or another combin...

As a working neuroscientist, Jay Schulkin's ambitious exploration offers reflections on the pragmatic tradition from a fresh perspective, to present not only a scientist's take on the pragmatic tradition, but also a pragmatist's take on the evolution of human problem solving.

This book brings together the behavioral, physiological, and neuroendocrine regulation of calcium.

In contrast to homeostasis, allostasis refers to the relatively new idea of "viability through change." This book addresses basic physiological regulatory systems, and examines bodily regulation under duress. It integrates the basic concepts of physiological homeostasis with disorders such as depression, stress, anxiety and addiction. It will interest graduate students, medical students, and researchers in physiology, epidemiology, endocrinolo...

We have known for over a thousand years that the brain underlies behavioral expression, but effective scientific study of the brain is only very recent. Two things converge in this book: a great respect for neuroscience and its many variations, and a sense of investigation and inquiry demythologized. Think of it as foraging for coherence.

An overview of allostasis, the process by which the body maintains overall viability under normal and adverse conditions.

This text discusses the important role of steroids and neuropeptides in the regulation of behavior.

Topics covered include the centrality of intentional attribution to social cognition, the rise of cognitive science in the twentieth century, the functional argument for the role of experience, intentional understanding in nonhuman primates, theory of mind and natural kinds in children, autism as a disorder of theory of mind, and the integration of emotions into theory of mind.
